About / Biography

Hi, I’m Cheryl Maria, an acoustic singer, playing pop, indie, rock, blues, and soul hits with my Acoustic Taylor GS Mini.

I sing & play top 40 covers from the Bob Dylan to Billie Eilish. My favorite artists to cover are Norah Jones, Adele, Ed Sheeran and I love all the queens of rock, pop and soul. I usually play acoustic, but when the occasion requires, I can bring out backing tracks for a bigger sound.

I’m great at setting the mood, getting audiences grooving and singing along to timeless anthems, tapping feet and clapping hands. Heck, you might even get up and dance.

My solo act is perfect for a wedding reception, small party, lounge or bar. I’ve had a great time entertaining audiences from 10 to 1000.

*For small venues near me, I bring my own equipment. For larger venues and further distances, I bring a compact setup that can be connected to your PA system.

Contact me for details and let's get the party started.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I very much loved working with Viking Ocean Cruises: the atmosphere, crew, staff and guests were phenomenal.


What's your favourite type of event?

I love a speakeasy event, or private concert, where the mood, music, performer and audience are really vibing.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started playing in Beach Bars in Croatia in 2009, then was in a small touring band from 2010 to 2021. I started again as a solo performer in 2021 and played on Cruises in 2023 and 2024, also doing a few contracts as band vocalist for Norwegian cruises.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I have always loved diva voices such as Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and Celine Dion and I was deeply influenced by 90s rebel queens such as Alanis Morrisette and Dolores O'Riordan. I love the sultry mood of Nora Jones, and the occasional "big" vocal song. As an eclectic listener I can't pick a single "best song of all times" and I do write many of my own that I may be partial to. But some of my favorites artists to cover are Adele, Alicia Keys, and those I mentioned above. <3

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

It typically takes me about 30 minutes to set up, and I prefer to be fully set up and ready to play about 30 minutes before the set begins (allows me time to change hats from roadie to superstar). A typical set is 45 minutes, and I'm


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, provided that we can create a solution to protect equipment in case of unpredicted weather.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I’m happy to adapt my set list to suit the event’s atmosphere, and I provide a song list of well-known favorites clients can choose from. I’m also glad to take live requests when possible — tips are always appreciated for those.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Soulful, memorable singer. A beautiful talent who conveys emotion and performs well known songs with her own interpretation.
